Hi DRC and all, lately I have been looking into remoting 3D software running on MS Windows. I have come across this post over at Sun (http://blogs.sun.com/vizsun/entry/hardware_accelerated_remote_3d_windows) that is using 3D capabilities of VirtualBox together with VirtualGL to offer remote access to windows 3D apps.
I wanted to know if some of you had tried that before, and with which level of success? When I try to create a VM with 3D enabled, it crashes saying that it cannot find a VirtualBox lib VBoxOGLhosterrorspu.so (which is actually there) and forcing a LD_PRELOAD does the trick of not crashing but there does not seems to have 3D support (one windows demo runs fine in local virtualbox but refuse to start when run throught virtualGL). I'm running virtualgl/turbovnc/turbojpeg stock from the virtualgl web site, and tried with virtualbox 3.0.10 and 2.2. I tried also the combo from Sun Shared visualization with no luck either. Distro is debian lenny with a nvidia graphic card with proprietary driver and launching a vglrun glxgears (or some other glx games) works fine on a remote computer throught turbovnc. I remember that there has been some threads a few month ago about some apps that PRELOAD lib and don't play nice with virtualGL. So it may be also the case here. However since someone at Sun had succeded in making it running, I thought that I should give it a shoot! Keep on the great job!
